from Beyond the Next Chapter with Whitney Clark
From TikTok to Instagram and YouTube, influencers are everywhere. And so are their families and children. In her new book "Like, Follow, Subscribe: Influencer Kids and the Cost of a Childhood Online," journalist Fortesa Latifi is exploring what it means to live your childhood online. Fortesa found some content creators make millions of dollars a year, with some of their best-performing content featuring their children sick or hurt. As Fortesa discusses, there's a lot of nuance that gets into the book: parents are grappling with tough decisions. Her work has been in The New York Times and more. Fortesa is from Arizona and is a graduate of ASU's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
